Today's riddle: How fast is milk when you pour it? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Smith: Port of Harlingen to develop a 600-acre rail site (riograndeguardian.com) — Harlingen's port is planning a major 600-acre rail site that could reshape how goods move through the city and the wider Valley. Port Director Walker Smith says stronger rail connections are crucial to attracting new tenants and boosting cargo tonnage. The phased project would add new tracks, a rail yard, and expanded capacity, supporting fuel and fertilizer shipments that already power the local economy.
• A Honduran Man Was Deported By Mistake. A Judge Brought Him Back to the U.S. — But He Landed Straight in Jail (latintimes.com) — Harlingen plays an unexpected role in a national immigration case, serving as the arrival point for a Honduran man a federal judge ordered returned to the U.S. after a disputed deportation. He landed in Harlingen under Border Patrol custody and now faces a new removal case in Texas courts. The outcome could influence how other wrongly deported immigrants are treated across the region.
• ICE carries out first deportation flight to Haiti since termination of TPS (oann.com) — Harlingen is again a key departure point in federal immigration enforcement, with buses taking migrants to a deportation flight that left the city for Haiti. The report explains this first Haiti flight since TPS ended, outlines current TPS countries, and notes ongoing concerns about Haiti's instability and broader U.S. efforts to deport migrants through agreements with other nations.
